Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies in similar mid-to-high grade condition range from $8 to $22. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies occasionally reach $100+, but demand is niche.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally worth professional grading unless it is a pristine 9.8 candidate. The cost of grading exceeds contemporary market value for mid-grade copies. Better kept in a high-quality Mylar sleeve.
